Homework Statement


The initial kinetic energy imparted to a 0.0190 kg bullet is 1008 J.
(a) Assuming it accelerated down a 1.00 m long rifle barrel, estimate the average power delivered to it during the firing.


(b) Neglecting air resistance, find the range of this projectile when it is fired at an angle such that the range equals the maximum height attained.
km

Homework Equations


KE = (mv^2)/2
P = dW/dt or Fv

The Attempt at a Solution


I found the final velocity which is 326
BUt I can't find the force.

How can I find the maximum height without knowing the angle
 
on Phys.org
And what's actually the formula for average power.
I doubt P = Fv is right
 
Can anyone help me ? :(

Thank you...
